SSN with some limitation

[popocat 0]

Hi, there.

My SSN showed "VAILD FOR WORK ONLY WITH INS AUTHORIZATION" because SSN was issued by different VISA (student visa).

I think I can use it when I recieve EAD because it is INS AUTHORISZATION...

But it showed my maiden name...and EAD, of course, will show my married name.

Should I go to SSN office to change my last name or remove condition to use it?

( I am not sure I can remove the condition with EAD?)

Thank you!!

Yes, you can get your name changed. You will need a certified copy of your marriage certificate as well as your EAD card.

The restriction, however, will remain on your SS card until you get your green card, at which time you can return and ask for a new SS card to be issued without the restriction.

RM 00203.210 Changing Numident Data

The applicant may submit either:

One legal name change document showing both the old and new names (e.g., a court order for a name change or a marriage document. The document must also show either (1) a description or photograph of the person or (2) biographical information that can be compared with the Numident data; or

When the name change document does not show either a photograph of the person or biographical information that can be compared with the Numident data, then, in addition to the name change document, the applicant must also submit two identity documents listed in RM 00203.200E. One of the submitted identity documents must show the old name (the name on the latest Numident record) AND the other submitted identity document must show the new name (the name to be shown on the corrected SSN card). The identity documents submitted must show either a photograph of the applicant or provide biographical information that can be compared with the Numident data.

a. Bride Takes Groom’s Last Name

In all 50 U.S. States (this means the 50 States, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa) the bride may take her husband's last name (surname or family name) as her new last name.

EXAMPLE: Jane Doe married John Jones and she may change her name to Jane Jones.

Interim Guidance: If the bride wants to take her husband's last name, accept the marriage document as a legal name change for the bride if the new name can be derived from the marriage document; even if the marriage document only shows each partner's first names, the bride's prior surname and husband's surname.

For the marriage document or marriage record to be acceptable as an identity document it must show, in addition to the new name, the person’s age or date of birth or parents’ names.

C. Procedure - Immigration Document as Evidence of Legal Name

When issuing immigration documents, the Department of State and DHS issue them in the person's legal name. The legal name is also generally the name in which the foreign passport was issued.

When an alien applies for an SSN card, presume the name on the immigration document is the legal name unless the applicant presents evidence of a legal name change (e.g., marriage) that occurred after the immigration document was issued.

In cases where an alien applies for a replacement SSN card and submits an immigration document showing a name that is different from the name on the prior Numident record, accept the immigration document as evidence of the legal name. In these cases, the prior SSN card may have been issued in a name that was not the NH’s legal name.

Note: Also need proof of work authorized alien status.
